Mrs. Green’s Class Promise: When we care about each other and our
classroom, we share what we have, listen carefully, help each other
learn, work hard, and have fun together. We understand that everyone makes mistakes, that we stand up for ourselves and others, and
when someone asks us to stop, we stop. This is who we are, even when no one is watching!
